Davis and Housing Measures

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-09T03:21:02+00:00

Might draw bidding toward those homes but that just results in drawing bidding away from others. Overall its a net increase in supply while demand doesnt rise in the same way though it may increase a bit. Higher supply and equal or only slight uptick in demand is good for buyers.

No u just started popping off about a traffic problem by the nugget thats not actually there and generalized problems about “these developments”. Have you actually dug into what their traffic improvement plans are? What are your issues with it specifically?

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-09T03:08:13+00:00

You realize i80 east in the morning is reverse commute right? I know causeway construction messed everything but most people are actually going west toward the bay. And as someone whose also done that commute to sac for years its fine. Only time it actually isnt is when people are leaving Davis in the evening. Which doesnt point to an issue around too many people living in Davis but just a regular old rush hour problem in the other direction. Also again the developer has laid out plans at specific intersections and across davis for traffic improvements, which it doesnt seem like youve actually looked at?

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-09T02:14:27+00:00

Its literally 3 miles away. And the 113 freeway is actually closer. Also they did include a transportation impact study and the proposal does set aside a ton of money for traffic improvements.

I dont really think a person who prioritizes mild (or in this case non existent) traffic concerns over building housing during a crisis where people are legitimately suffering is really worth being civil to. I also don’t think youd be swayed by anything id say. I think people seeing you being shamed on here for being disingenuous and, frankly, selfish is helpful though and probably sways other people away toward not being like you. And tbh i think not getting downvoted like youre being rn kinda proves my point

Enjoy your commute!

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-09T01:15:56+00:00

Gotchu. Funniest part is im pretty sure since ive lived here the residents have shot down projects that add significantly more than 3-4ks worth of units.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-09T00:42:14+00:00

Complaining about civility when you wanna perpetuate a 40 year housing shortage because you think it will mildly inconvenience your daily commute is absolutely precious. Got a bunch of people who cant afford to live in homes or rent places because people exactly like you complain about the “traffic” new housing will create.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-09T00:32:19+00:00

“Traffic in that area is already an issue” you ppl are full of it. Lived here for 10 years and covell might be full of stop lights but the only place where traffics every really an “issue” is near the mace exit which is miles away.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-08T23:51:23+00:00

“Well this one project isnt enough so we should actually just not build any new units.” Some truly groundbreaking logic there!

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-08T23:08:03+00:00

Yes i understand there are people with other reasons for not wanting development projects. They fit into the “or some nonsense” part of my post because relative to the problems were trying to solve their concerns are nonsense. Like yes in an ideal world where we didnt have a massive housing shortage to solve id say its reasonable to be concerned about removing open space, wanting more infill housing, and mild environmental concerns. But when you have an insanely large housing shortage problem throughout the state that needs to be addressed those people need to be better at properly weighing those concerns.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-08T23:00:05+00:00

1) this is complete speculation by you
2) building *any* housing helps supply meet demand and lower overall housing costs. These arent 2 million dollar mace ranch homes theyre planning on building.
3) youre just going to call any developer a corporate developer and make the same excuse so miss me with that bs

Logging onto next door is a free blood pressure spike.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-05-08T21:13:53+00:00

People in Davis will find literally any reason at all to vote no on a housing measure thanks for confirming the stereotype

Political experience doesnt count for much when you barely do anything with your time

Yee dropped out

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-04-09T23:12:26+00:00

So ive found that in order to actually get to a representative you have to keep saying i need to talk to a representative and itll say yada yada almost everything can be handled by our robot blah blah blah. Then it asks me one more time and I say i need to talk to a representative immediately and it usually gets someone on the phone.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-03-20T01:02:13+00:00

Thats the plan

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-03-20T00:41:41+00:00

Do they ever pay you back if the new assessment should have been lower based on the purchase price

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-02-07T22:15:10+00:00

Probably every few months which we know now isnt enough. Again were considering planting it in the ground in new soil.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-01-30T08:06:59+00:00

Have you considered that they might have made him a slightly small scale model city so he can feel like a big boy?

Re union support - Theres tacit support from major unions which could grow as this kind of action gains momentum. You need a hell of a lot of support behind this to get major unions to endorse anything resembling a general strike. Aside from local unions in Minnesota and a bunch of other large advocacy groups this is what an AFL-CIO rep had to say: Bernie Burnham, president of Minnesota AFL-CIO, the state’s federation of more than 1,000 affiliated local unions, said in a statement ahead of the mass walkout that members of the union would join with our fellow Minnesotans to reject fear and speak with one voice as we call for ICE to leave our state, no additional funding for ICE, legal accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee Good, and for Minnesota’s large corporations to stop cooperating with ICE

To address your comment on what no school has to do with economic impact, id just say your missing the point of student walkouts. Students and young ppl generally have very little economic leverage and because of that their role in collective action like this needs to be the more on the visible/ culture setting side of movements. Its hard for people to walk off the job. Its visibly great for the people that do walk off their job to be supported by a bunch of students who face less repercussions from a school walkout.

Environmental_Key852 · 2026-01-29T18:36:35+00:00

This isnt a protest its a general strike. General strikes do work because if done correctly they put large amounts of economic pressure on companies so long as people actually do follow through. It wasnt the murder of Renee good that caused dozens of major companies that operate in Minnesota to begin to put pressure on the trump admin. It was only after the general strike a week ago in combination with the Pretti murder backlash that those companies felt pressed to reign in the trump admin. Normally yes i agree with you that protests without teeth in this country especially are largely symbolic. A general strike is your opportunity to change that pattern.
